    I think I got my first mild concussion!

    I got one in a high school football game. The tackle on the other side of the line (I played Guard) was giving our back field hell (the guy was 6'3 250 plus and all state) So the Coach asks me can you trap block him. I said no prob let me at him. (ahh to be 17 and bullet proof again.) He read...

    Do you think the color will be too light on this one? (Imperial Red)

    Wow I entered most of this recipie in Beersmith and and it came up with 134 IBUs that is a lotta hopps even with out the dry hop. The color is 16.6 so that is in style for an Irish red. ABV comes in at 8.64%. I hop you like it really hoppy

    The Christmas Grinch thread

    I think whoever invented this type of packaging should have every meal he eats come wraped this way until he takes it back or starves.

    The stupidest comment on your beer

    So my BIL was over at Thanksgiving and asked to try some of my beer SWMBO poured him my house pale ale, and while she was pouring he said, "Oh no that is too dark (SRM is 6) I really don't like that dark taste." and he wouldn't drink it. So the next day I brewed a 2.5 gal batch of BM's Creme of...

    Torpedo/Salamander Heaters - Propane, Kerosene or...?

    My family used somthing close to this http://http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=51266-51507-ML150TPE&lpage=none for our primary heat source for several years. I would think this would be as cheap as a torpedo heater and much safer in an enclosed space. I know you can...

    Ring of something in one of my beers

    I have seen a "bottle krausen" at the top of some of my beers at times. It comes from the carbonation process. Swirl it around gently and give it a couple of days to see if it settles out.

    Repitching at Bottling Time

    Do you think adding gelatin prior to bottling can affect carbing rates. I added gelatin to two batches and carbing seemed to be slower. I can't testify as to total carbanation level as my impatience outlasted the batch. :D

    What do I do about this?

    lowes tubing will work. if you have some already to siphon with it will probably fit over the post inside the airlock, if you run some hot water over the hose it will slip on easier.

    What do I do about this?

    Get a blow-off tube on that thing NOW!! and be careful removing the airlock bung because it looks like there is a lot of pressure on that lid

    Home Depot buckets for fermenting

    HDPE (Homer buckets) and Pex (the supply plumbing in most of houses built in the last 15 years) are both forms of polyethelyne. Pex is dyed for the plumbing trade. Red for hot blue for cold white for genral use, the white also has a black inner lining to prevent alge growth, so even if you...
